The hotel is just outside the main area of Tsivilli about 10 min walk into the village and 5 mins to the beach.  Set on the hill side so views of sea and much quieter.

Spiros by THAT Bar  in Tsillivi has been recommended to me by friends - Hope you have a good time.

All the rooms have balconies and most rooms are sea view an inland view any way.  There are some which are just inland views and these are over the Olive Groves.  You will have a wonderful time there, we have been going for 7 years now !!!!! Lots of boat trips some big with other people and others where you can go on your own. I'll try and get a contact for you.

Debbie W

Hi all at the Zante Star,

  My husband, daughter, brother sister-in-law and niece are coming to the Zante Star in 6 weeks and 3 days and we really cannot wait!!!!! There is just one thing that I would like to ask, we have requested a sea view but on my booking form it states inland view, none of us are really bothered but what is the inland view like? and do the rooms have balconies?   I have looked at every review page thats on the net and all say how fantasic the place is we booked last August 08.  Just one more question we like to hire a boat when on our hols, so can anyone give me any info on boat hire in Zante (best plce etc)
Thanks all cant wait to meet you at the Zante Star
Debbie.

As far as i know Yannis email hasn't changed.  We have been going to the Zante Star for 7 years now and I know you will have a lovely time.  All rooms are for 4 people whether facing the pool inland. Some inland rooms are noisy with the cockrels but by the pool you get pool noise and whereever you go in Zakynthos you'll hear the cockrels and chickens !!!

Have a great time

Sharon C

can anybody tell me if yanni has changed is email as i have been trying to get in touch and the email cant be sent as we are going in aug 6th for 2 weeks and i have been told to email him to ask for a pool view room there are 2 adults 2 kids does any one know if the pool view room are for 4 people as we have been told in land views are noise with the cockerals apart from that we have herd good reports and are looking forward to our holiday your hopefuly sharon

Sarah S          10/10

First ever summer holiday abroad, and we could not have picked a better place!. What can we say everything was fantastic, the accommodation sparkling clean, lovely food and the most friendly and helpful staff.  Would defo recommend the Zante star to anyone, can see why lots of people go back again and again. Hi to all the friends that we met, especially Kerry and Pete.

Lesley & Paul          10/10

A Gym in Zante?  Are you mad woman?!!!!!  Just kiddin, I'm not sure if there is a Gym in Tsilivi but aren't you supposed to be going on hols to relax?!!  When you get there, ask Yannis where the nearest one is, there may be one in town somewhere?  Have a nice time!!!

Corinne & Chris

Thank god HE won't be going back to the Zante Star !!!

For future guests, the prices here are not top dollar, drinks are the same price or cheaper than in the village
We recomend the Zante Star special breakfast, really good value for money.

Paul S

consider me really told off  big deal

Lesley & Paul          10/10

Way to go Sarah!!  You tell 'em!!  The surname is gRayer by the way!!!!  xXx

Paul S

in reply to sarah gayer you say that yannis and his staff  attempt to make your holiday a good one well im sorry that was not the case with me and my family yes i agree i dont go on holiday to spend all my time in my appartment but by the same token i like a bit of room and not be falling over one another  as for the prices we came back to tsilivi whils we were away and the prices were still very reasonable as they were in argassi so i stand by what i say about the hotel being expensive everyone is different one mans meat and all that and we just didnt enjoy our stay at the zante star

Sarah G          10/10

In reply to the comment below it is hard to keep everyone happy but at the Hotel Zante Star Yannis and his staff do their up most best to make everyone's holiday a good one. Yes the rooms are not massive but they are advertised as "One bedroom apartments (2/4 persons) (3rd/4th bed will be a sofa bed)" so it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that they are going to be huge. The rooms are bright clean and big enough, after all who goes on holiday to spend all their time in the apartment?

 "Us people" who give it top marks have been to other places but we return to Zante Star year after year because it is the best hotel in Zante, In our opinions. I went to Mexico a few years back and stayed in a 5* resort and I personally prefer the Zante star, so please don't think frequent customers of the Zante star do not travel to other destinations.

The hotel is a short 10 minute walk from the bars and restaurants, hardly "miles". And as for it being overpriced unfortunately it is no longer that cheap to eat and drink abroad full stop, you can thank the euro for that and a thing called Inflation.

There is always children at the Zante star who have a great time, there is plenty for them to do and many people return year after year after year.

As I said you can't keep everybody happy, the hotel Zante star is a great 3* accommodation, don't let one hard to please customers opinions put you off.

 

Paul S          4/10

went to zante star appts this year and all i can say is you people who give it top marks cant have been any where else for your holidays whilst it was very clean the room they gave us was a joke it wasnt big enough to swing a cat never mind sleep three people for two weeks and when we complained the attitude was tough live with it so we told our helpful hosts to shove there so called three star plus appts and we moved to argassi where we had a great holiday this place is miles from anywhere which is no good if you have kids in tow especially in the heat of zante at the moment so you are left with a choice of walking miles or paying top dollar in the hotel  all in all over rated  over priced out of the way place give it four stars for cleanliness

Well, here we are, once again back in the UK.  Arrived home last night after yet another fantastic holiday at the Zante Star.  Thanks as always to Yannis, Irene, Irena, Evgenia and to the 2 new ladies Anna and Sandy on Reception - you're a lovely bunch of people and make everyones stay at the Star so enjoyable.  Had loadsa laughs, ate and drank in abundance, enjoyed meeting everyone (Heather & Sarah - you lucky ladies going back in September!!).  Great to see Anthony & Co (a very brief encounter indeed!!) and at least we managed a few hours with Denise & Helen (we never did get Yannis in the pool girls, he promised he would next year though)! Booked to return June 2009 and looking forward to it already - although I haven't even unpacked yet!  Take care everyone, see in 2009! xXx

Heather S          10/10

Hi Yanni and all your great staff.
 
We arrived back Sunday after our 6th visit to Zante Star, we had a lovely week and didnt want to go home.  Thankyou Yanni for looking after us as Mike was'nt with us this time. We will all be back in September for two weeks.Clap cannot wait. Yanni you will have your pool partner Mike, I know you missed him, like Irene, Irenia, Sandy and Evgenia did.
 
It was such a lovely surprise to see  Irene back as we just missed her last year.  Thankyou Irene for all your hard work making everyones holiday so enjoyable.  Not forgetting Irenia for the great cocktails, and also Evgenia who works so hard cooking all day such lovely meals, and always has a lovely smile. Yanni you work so hard making everyones holiday so enjoyable.  Zante Star is such a lovely place to stay, there is no where else in Zante to stay.
Sorry we didnt see Sandy and Anna to say goodbye, you work so hard on reception,  will see you soon.
 
It was lovely to meet Lesley and Paul, thankyou for telling us about the Paradise Bar, we had a great night there.
 
Hello to Linda, Elaine, Yvonne, Shay and family, sorry we didnt get to say goodbye.
 
Thankyou again Yanni for everything, we will see you in September.Wink

Its great to hear how many people love the Zante Star, can someone tell me what year it opened as my parents and I went but can not be sure of the year?

Lesley & Paul          10/10

P.S.  There's a Water Park about a 20min ride away in a taxi which is also quite good and worth a visit one day.  Just ask reception to order you a taxi if you fancy going and there's plenty of taxi's hanging around the water park so it will be easy to get back once you've had enough of the water rides!!

Lesley & Paul          10/10

Hi Paul Shepherd,

There are a few table games at the zante star which i'm sure will keep your grandson occupied!  There's a pool table indoors (where most of the kids tend to spend the day!) and there's also bar football and table tennis by the pool.  I think the 2 Brothers Bar is about a 10 - 15 min leisurely stroll.  Hope you enjoy your hols!

Nikki B

Six weeks today, we are now on the countdown to our holiday at the Zante Star. Thanks to all the fab comments on here I dont think ive ever looked forward to a holiday more!

Yasmin P

Hi Yanni and everyone at Zante Star.

Sarah and I are coming to you for a week on the 22nd of June. Sorry Mike won't be with us, he has to work

But we will all be there on the 14th of September for 2 weeks!
This will be our 6th time to stay at Zante Star, usually come May and September, last year we came  in July and stayed in Yanni's apartment in September which was lovely.
 
The photos are of one of the many great nights spent with Yanni September 2007.
 
Looking forward to seeing you Yanni and all your wonderful staff.  Mike is so disappointed he wont be with us Yanni  but will see you in September for pool and great nights in the bar.
 
Have read all comments from Lesley and Paul Dutton over the years, look forward to meeting you as we will be there for one of your weeks.
 
Can't wait to come back!
 
See you soon,
 
Love

My then fiance took me to the Zante Star Aparthotel in Summer 04 for my birthday.  We loved it so much we returned here with all our family when we got married in Tsilivi in Summer 06.  I'm sorry it took me so long to make this post but we have only just got connected to the internet.
Anyway, I cannot recommend the hotel highly enough.  The staff are fantastic and so friendly, the food is wonderful and everywhere is so clean and well maintained.  My sister has also posted a very positive review of the hotel (sharon simpson) albeit a lot faster than me!
I would definately recommend going to the Greek Night Barbecue - not to be missed!
Many thanks to Yannis, Demitra, Irene and all the staff for a wonderful wedding, honeymoon and holiday.
Will definately be going back.

You've done the right thing Nikki Bayes!!  You will not be disappointed and booking early is wise!  There will be a lot of disappointed people who aren't going to be able to get in next year.  Hope you have a lovely time - we'll be there in June AGAIN!!!

June W          10/10

We have just got back from the Zante Star, the apatments are beautiful, lovely and clean.  The food at the bar is absolutley wonderful, we tried a variety of dishes. I would recomend this accomodation to anyone.  We will be going back

hello Yannis and all your wonderful staff, not forgetting mother-to-be- Irene.

second year running, had another fantastic holiday. this time we took our daughter, son-in-law and grandaughter.
Had a brilliant time, nothing was too much trouble, even got us rooms next to each other (many thanks).
Still remembering those warm days by the pool and cool nights in the bar.
Zante star still the best place to stay in Tsilivi.
 
 
 

Lesley & Paul          10/10

Hello All,

Once again, had an absolutely fantastic holiday  best ever yet! Yannis is just the perfect host and his staff (Elena, Evgenia (best cook in tsilivi), Irena on bar, Sandra on reception and not forgetting the lovely, mother-to-be Irene) are second to none.  We send our very best wishes for the arrival of the baby in August (there's a little parcel on it's way to you!) - sorry we couldn't come up with any sensible names for the baby (I think Anthony & Paul's suggestions of "Moussaka" and "Yvetsi" weren't really suitable but at least they tried their best!).  If Jess is reading this, please be informed that the "stolen" guitar was returned, fully inflated, to it's rightful owner, the very next day - and yes, you're right Denise, I was very drunk that night - and maybe, just maybe, a few of the other nights as well! There was a brilliant crowd of people there this year, most of whom said they would be returning next year, so get your concrete mixer going Yannis, I think you may need to build an Annex to fit us all in! Once again, many thanks for the great service & fun provided during our stay and can't wait to come back next year (already booked for 15th June)!!
 
Take care everyone!
Lesley & Paul
 
 

Denise H          10/10

Yasou Yannis, Irina & Elena and everybody else

 
Had a fantastic time during our second visit to your lovely apartments. We met some great people and had some good times in the bar....remember Paradise By the Dashboard light sung by Anthony and Paul, also Lesley "im so drunk" counting the years ! and Paul with his inflatable guitar stolen from paradise bar!
 
Hope to see you all next year and enjoy being a grandad.

HI THERE, THIS IS THE HOTEL TO STAY AT IT IS CLEAN AND TOP NOTCH WE WERE SO PLEASED WHEN WE ARRIVED AND THE WHOLE OF OUR STAY WAS LOVELY, STAFF COULDNT HAVE BEEN NICER, LOOKING FORWARD TO COMING BACK NEXT YEAR TO SEE THAT BABY XXX

Sean G

We have read some many wonderful comments that we are thinking of booking up this weekend for a fortnight in September.  I was just wondering if anyone has an idea on the cost of the A/C?

Lesley & Paul

Hi Laura (Hampson),

The Balcony's at the Zante Star are quite open and only really separated by railings, not much privacy i'm afraid!  Have you been onto their website?  There are a couple of images that might give you a better idea of what they are like.  Hope this won't spoil your holiday, there's no reason why it should, it's an absolutely fabulous place to stay - you'll love it!

Claire F           

we came to this hotel last year and enjoyed it so much. i have never returned to the same hotel or resort before but i have booked today to go back in may. it was gorgeous and the staf were lovely. only change is i made sure we got a double bed instead of two singles!

Heather G           

Hi Dimtra

Its Heather and Mike, we had another great holiday at Zante Star September 2006 and are going back in 2007.  We had such a great time and Yanni Irene and you were all great and made our holiday so enjoyable.  Please come back in 2007 as you will be missed.
 
Like to wish Yanni Irene and all the wonderful staff at Zante Star a Happy New Year.
 
Love Heather and Mike

Lesley & Paul           

Hi Dimitra,

Great to read you comments on this website!  As you  know, we had a fabulous holiday again this year and have booked to return in 2007!   It obviously is a great place to work as well as to holiday, I personally have never been anywhere as brilliant as the Zante Star!  I would like to wish you a very merry christmas and best wishes for the New Year!  Hope you are enjoying yourself in Kos and who knows, we may see you again next year!! 

Love from Lesley & Paul x x x

Dimitra K           

Hello my dear guests of  Zante star!!

I am Dimitra and I worked at the Zante star this last summer.I wanted to share something with all
of you and I thought this would be a good way to do it...
Well, I am back in Kos now but my mind is still back in Zakynthos...I keep looking at my photographs
and keep thinking of these wonderful people who came into my life for a while...
I would never believe I could meet so many nice people who I would really,really like and have fun with...
That is why I want to thank (most) of you for making my summer unforgettable and for being so nice and
friendly!! I really hope we can see each other again someday...
I also want to thank from my heart Yanni, Irene, Katerina and everybody, it was a pleasure working with you as you allready know...
Take care everybody!
With all my love,
Dimitra

Went to zante star end of July with my girlfriend I'm 19 she's 18, was excellent Yannis and the team were excellent clean and freindly hotel town not too far good horse and kart ride for ten euros anywhere. Great food. Nightlife in  town but the hotel uis far enough away to be quiet and relaxing. Overall excellent holiday. Both enjoyed 10/10. Wayne "Bruce Wayne"

Amy W           

i came here last year with my best friend, and am trying to pin down my boyfriend to return with him summer 2007. the zante star was great, everything about it was fantastic! although the hotel was quiet, we had great fun as two 18 year olds, couldnt have asked for more. and as for mikki, most of the time he was friendly, but like any dog, if you're going to hassle him constantly then of course he will end up snapping. leave him be, if he wants to play he will. if he doesnt leave him alone! common sense really!

Lesley & Paul           

Im with you on that one, Margaret!  We were also here in June this year and have also booked to go back next June!  Hope Yannis doesn't get bored with the same people going back all the time!  LOL !!!

Margaret P           

TO ALL THE PEOPLE RECOMMENDING THESE APARTMENTS TO FRIEND & FAMILY ................

 
 
LEAVE IT!! - They dont need to know its our little piece of Paradise found .
Lets just keep it a secret amongst ourselves shall we ...................
 
 

Margaret P           

I think they have been open about 3 years but they are immaculaltely maintained.

What time in July are you going?
We went mid June and there were not many children there in the 5 -12yr bracket.
 
I would say GO GO GO whilst you can get a place - repeat returners cant be wrong!
 
We are now one of those repeaters - booked again already for last week June/1st week July.
 
Any more questions feel free to ask & I promise I will try and give an honest opinion if I can answer them.

Philippa B           

Hi Guys,

I am wondering if someone would reccomend the Zante Star apartments for me, my husband and our 7 yrs old? I have read mixed reports on here and other forums. I am looking to book next July through Olympic Holidays, however they say the apartments are brand new so am I looking at the right ones?
 
Many thanks all opinons gratefully received.

We've just returned from our week at the Zante Star and we were more than impressed. We read the reviews here and we weren't disappointed. The apartments and all public areas were spotlessly clean, the staff were exceptionally friendly and we didn't have any problems with Mikki. I read Josephine Wessons review and frankly thought her comments a bit petty, why was she trying to remove Mikki from the corridor outside her apartment, that's his territory not hers, no wonder he was a bit miffed and her comments about the staff being functual (what a way to descibe people!) I think shows more about her attitude than theirs, perhaps if she were friendlier they would have been. We couldn't fault them, they always asked after us, if we had had a nice day, they remembered our room numbers without having to ask and when we were leaving they all came to say Goodbye and shake our hands. They didn't ask us to clear our tables after eating but we did and always received a thankyou. We've visited the Greek Islands on 9 occasions now and have to say this was the best accommodation we've stayed in, we would like to come back but we believe it's getting booked up very quickly!!

Chris B           

Just back from another excellent two weeks of utter relaxation.

The Zante Star was perfect as always. (Read my other posts)
 
Couple of points:-
1.If the eight glasses in your room are not enough for your wine consumption, then try buying the wine from the bar, rather than taking the mick....
2.You do not have to clear your own plates when eating at the snack bar, it is just good manners if Irene is busy. Simple maths:- more staff = higher prices, leave it alone!
 
The food is still excellent (better than some places in town), everywhere is still spotless and Demitra is really funny during the quiz night.
 
Many thanks to Yannis and the team.
 
See you soon,
 
Chris and Sue

Josephine W           

We stayed at Zante Star apartments the first two weeks in September, we found the apartments to be very clean but with lack of storage space, one double wardrobe for four people is not adequate.
Our aparment had a pool/sea view and could not have been better.
 
We have been to Greece several times and feel we must have been spoilt in the past as we found the staff to be functional but not over friendly, I asked for a wine glass for our room as one was not supplied and was told by the owner he could not give me one as everone would want one and to buy one from the supermarket, I found this to be bad customer service as I have not ever had a problem anywhere when requested.
 
Parents beware Mikki the friendly dog is not friendly at all, he went for my little boy three times during the holiday and also myself once when I tried very gently to remove him from the corridor outside our room, he is not the type of dog suitable for family aparments, so children and adults beware.
 
However don't dispair if you have just booked, the apartments are in a very nice location and we really did have a lovely holiday, just don't forget to pack a wine glass.

The Zante star was brilliant, couldnt have wished for a better 2 weeks holiday. Yianni and his staff work tirelessly to make your stay as pleasant as possible.  I disagree with the comments made about the hotel not being interested in you if you didnt spend money.  There were many guests at the hotel whom i spoke to who came back year after year without propping up the hotel bar.  Yianni is just as pleased to have these guests as the ones who spend far too much money on beer.  As for mikki, as with most animals when tormented by kids, he will be snappy.  If you dont understand that, then you need to keep your kids away from all animals.  Also the walk into the village was barely 10 mins at a leisurely stroll, definately not 20 mins.  All in all, I can say this was one of the best places I have stayed in, and would have no hesitation in recommending the Zante Star to all my friends and family.
 

Chris P           

On the whole we would agree with previous coments on this website. But it is our opinion that if you were spending money at the hotel the owner was friendly, if not you were tollerated. Unlike the  local restaurants you had to pay for everything on ordering and you had to collect / return your dishes etc to the bar. It would also have been nice to have been able to get a snack or a sandwich after 5:30 as a few times we were on day long trips and did  not get back until 8:30 when we had to shower,change and walk the 20 mins into Tsilivi to eat. We were told by another guest that she had complained about the dog Mikki as it had tried to bite her and her son on more than one occasion, but the owner was not interested. However shortly after the dog disappeared for the rest of the holiday. In all fairness our room was excellent as we had a sea/pool view when we were expecting an inland view. The cleanliness at the hotel was 2nd to none (this was due to the hard working maids). On the whole our stay at the Zante Star was pleasant.

Sally J           

Hello!

My family and I are booked to stay here in August 2007. All the comments we have read sound brilliant and we can't wait!
See you soon

Paul B           

Hi Everybody
 
Thanx to this fantastic forum my family and I have booked to go next to the Zante Star next July (2007).
 
This will be our first time to Greece and have heard how welcoming the greeks are. We have two young daughters aged 7 and 10 years. Do you think they will be entertained and not too bored.
 
We are counting down the days!!!!

 Just returned from the Zante Star and wished I could have stayed longer.  This really was the BEST holiday I have ever taken.  The standard of the accommodation, pool area, bar area and food was excellent. Thankyou Yannis, Irene, Dimitri and the rest of the staff for making my stay very pleasurable, you are the greatest hosts.  Don't miss the Karaoke night  we had a blast! Am looking to book for next year already!

Thankyou Yannis, Irene, Dimitra, Katerina, and all of the staff of the Zante Star. We had a wonderful holiday thanks to Yannis and his staff. The appartments were well maintained and cleaned daily, wherever you look the hotel is spotlessly clean. The pool area is fantastic with more than enough sunloungers and the food is superb too.
The hotel is in a good location just far enough out of town to be peaceful, yet it is only a 10-15 min stroll from the hotel and only 10 min from the beach.
I would not hesitate in reccommending the Zante Star to anyone (in fact I already have!) and we will be returning.
5* accommodation, 5* staff, 5* service.

My family and I have just returned from 2 fabulous weeks staying at the Zante Star Hotel. We were there as part of a wedding party as my sister was getting married in Tsilivi. The hotel was wonderful, all the apartments and public areas were of a high standard,we were lucky enough to have 1 of the larger apartments. All the staff were wonderful,special thanks to Yanni,Irene & Damitra who made the holiday so special,they were always so friendly & cheerful,no matter how late we had kept them up the previous night. Also not forgetting the resident pooch Mikki who is a star in the making & had a personality of his own. One of the best nights we had was The Greek Night, the food was fabulous and the dancers were especially brave for spinning my sisters around on their shoulders!!! Would definitely recommend it to other people & go back again myself in the future.

  What a wonderful place, clean and tidy.  We holiday in Greece every year and we thought that the apartments here were of a higher standard than any we have stayed in previously.  The food served at the hotel is beautiful the vegetarian pasta is to die for.  The people running the hotel (Yanni and Irini, father and daughter) are very friendly.  The bar is run efficiently and well.  The pool area is always well looked after and there are enough beds for every person staying in the hotel.  So there is no need for putting towels onto sunlougers unless you want to look rather stupid.  There is quite a walk from the hotel into the town and this can be very uncomfortable if taking the trip during the day in the intence heat, however if going in the evening then the long walk becomes a very pleasant walk.  There are so many bars and restaurants to choose from in Tsilivi that you are spoilt for choice, yet being out of the town gives you a good chance of a great nights sleep.  The entertainment nights put on by the hotel were really enjoyable, the Greek dancing night is not to be missed as the food is the best ever and the entertainment is more than just Greek dancing.  The dancers catered for the adults the teenagers and the younger children they were so good.
